Book excerpt: Excerpt from Landscape Garden Series Planting and Maintenance Although it is necessary to give numerous hints on good maintenance, the work, or, I might more truthfully say, pleasure of providing it is really not such a comprehensive task as it might seen. An old gardener once expressed his idea of success, in a few words, "Look to your garden a while each day and get the weeds while they are young." Thus, if one knows just what to do and when to do it, and does not put it off, the task, which at first might seem huge, becomes a minor one. The importance of providing careful direction and guidance in growth cannot be overestimated. All planning is done with an idea in mind. When the idea is carried out in the actual arrangement of land and landscape, the forces of man and nature must combine if the idea and purpose of the design is to be realized. A place carefully planned and laid out never offers the best appearance if it is not properly maintained throughout the year. Proper care includes more than keeping things clean and neat, although that is a large part of the work. Proper care includes, also, attention to the things which have to do with the health, growth, and appearance of the plants that they may have the best chance to do the work prescribed for them. It is not the purpose here to provide a manual of gardening, but to give those points concerning planting and maintenance which have been found to be most needed or desired by the home owner, and attention to which will insure more than the average success in planting and caring for ornamentals. Listing New Purchases After the plans have been made and the plants specified, the lists for ordering must be prepared. Listing the chosen varieties offers an excuse to ramble through the catalogues to find new friends or old favorites. A list for ordering, properly made out, includes: 1. The number of plants desired. 2. The complete Latin or trade name. 3. The size, grade or age. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
